		A distinction is drawn between the terms "robot" and "robotoid".
		Robots exist in literature that are strictly bound by programming (for example: almost any robot probe), that are bound by programming in specific areas but free to function more or less independent in others (for example: Asimov's Three Law robots, and machines that are entirely free willed (for example: Star Trek's Data).

		ROBOT soldiers manufactured to kill enemy troops have been designed for the Pentagon by a tiny Glasgow computer company which is set to make millions from the deal.
		Using current technology, if a robot sees a target then the delay means that it is impossible for the military commander to make the robot follow it accurately or target it properly.
		Armed robot vehicles could be dropped out of planes and left to roam enemy territory to scout for targets which they could attack themselves or pin-point them with lasers for bomber planes to take out.

		The Segway can make much tighter turns than four-wheeled robotic vehicles currently used in the military and by researchers, and its high centre of gravity means cameras and sensors can be placed a metre or more above the ground _ a height more suitable for interacting with humans.
		The next goal is to teach the robot the rules of the game and get it to communicate with human players.
		The robots would navigate and communicate with each other autonomously, but a human would oversee the whole network.

	Automation & Robotic engineering - Robots in war
		Seems to me that war is supposed to be an unpleasent loss of life and material that is so costly and wasteful that all parties involved are obliged to do whatever it takes to end it quickly.
		An example of this is a mobile robotic pair developed in partnership with Darpa and SRI where two bots(usually called agents) are thrown out the back of a moving pickup truck.
		Since Robot wars would conceivably be bigger and badder than conventional wars, they would therefore be more damaging to the area where the war takes place, not less.

		World War III is the name given to a hypothetical world war, initially supposed to be fought between superpowers with weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons.
		Such a globally destructive war with such pervasive weapons ranks with asteroid impact, a hostile technological singularity, and catastrophic climate change as an "extinction-level event".
		Before the collapse of the Soviet Union and end of the Cold War, an apocalyptic war between the United States and USSR was considered likely.

		A US officer who helped test the robot said it was a more accurate shot than the average soldier because it is mounted on a stable platform and takes aim electronically.

	village voice > news > Make Robots Not War by Erik Baard
		Imagine a swarm of robots seizing control of the airspace and waters of a besieged port city while amphibious automatons roll up the shoreline to knock out pockets of resistance.
		The attack is brilliantly coordinated, and each of the robots is an astonishingly effective killer because it learns faster and has more flexible responses than any mere machine.
		Moreover, with that many dollars chasing (and tempting) researchers in fields like robotics and nanotechnology, the perception is that it's almost impossible to forgo military support and still remain competitive.

		This helps heighten the tension later when the Evil robot threatens to replace Robot as the family's mechanical man. When the Evil robot made Robot look pathetic and outdated in order to gain the Robinson's exclusive trust, I actually felt bad for the big metal guy.
		Evil robot means to enslave them and turn them over to his evil overlords for "experimentation" This is a great episode, representative of the best of the series writing,acting and directing.

		In the game, Pelonis states, "you are an elite soldier stationed in Antartica...poised atop a watchtower", and it is your job to rid the area of a variety of enemy robots who prove to be rather tricky to intercept (Pelonis 2003).
		The Drones are a tricky bunch and you'll have to hunt them down with precision and gut wrenching determination if you are going to see their demise.
		The firepower they use is not as powerful as your own firepower and oncoming missiles fired from the robots can be destroyed before they have time to diminish your shield.

		A coherent plot synopsis of either film would be well nigh impossible, given that 90% of their running time consists of costumed actors yammering at control boards and investigating long, loooong planetary caverns and tunnels, with occasional cut-rate special effects thrown in to wake up the audience.
		Like its predecessor, War of the Robots raids the coffin of Mario Bava's Planet of the Vampires more than George Lucas' hit as Brescia floods the screen with gaudy, candy-colored lighting and cranks up the wonky electronic score whenever things get too slow.
		For some reason, War of the Planets begins with an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 except for some open matte FX inserts, then reverts to pan and scan a few minutes in.
